Sci Fi, the lie and the truth

Rating: 7/10 (22 July 2005)

So you want to go to a Sci Fi movie? These days, who knows what sci fi is? You want Logans Run? OK, you got it! You want Battlefield Earth? OK, you got it! There's no aliens, just a lot of people with personal interests. You're going to get a lot more than Sci Fi from this movie, though. Add some good IL' scenes with violence and a few chuckles. Yes, you get some Sci Fi, but really, you get more of the other stuff.
If you are expecting thought provoking Sci Fi, forget it. But I think most Sci Fi fans can accept the rest of the movie's action and humor. At first I was cursing the change from Sci Fi to action but later I found myself enjoying the movie. Seriously, go with the flow. You'll appreciate it more if you do.
The Island is there, just don't look too hard for it. Also, all the main characters were portrayed very well.
